Agent Check: Netnology's Cisco SD-WAN Integration

Overview

This check monitors Cisco SD-WAN controllers through the Datadog Agent using an SD-WAN platform provided by Netnology. The check enables users to monitor the network health and performance of multiple Cisco SD-WAN controllers simultaneously. Collected information can then be used for aggregated dashboarding and notifications on configured monitors/alerts.

Currently, only Cisco vManage devices are supported as SD-WAN controller targets.

Setup

The Netnology Cisco SD-WAN integration is not included in the Datadog Agent package, so you need to install it manually.

Installation

For Agent v7.21+ / v6.21+, follow the instructions below to install the check on your host. See Use Community Integrations to install with the Docker Agent or earlier versions of the Agent.

1. Run the following command to install the Agent integration:

   datadog-agent integration install -t nn_sdwan==1.0.1

2. Configure your integration similar to core integrations.

Configuration

1. Edit the nn_sdwan.d/conf.yaml file in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory to start collecting your Cisco SD-WAN performance data. See sample nn_sdwan.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

2. Restart the Agent.

Validation

Run the Agent's status subcommand and look for nn_sdwan under the Checks section.
